@bethann87 the nurse explained to me that being small isnt enough to diagnose IUGR. They have to show that they stopped growing

@justinakmatta they diagnosed mine according to his percentile. 10%or below I think is officially iugr

@bethann87 yeah but they even told me he MIGHT have IUGR or he might just be small. If he really had it shouldn't they know after a month and a half of monitoring me twice and week with NSTs and ultrasounds?

I had iugr and delivered cesarean (due to him being breech) at 37 weeks. I feel like if they think you've got iugr they induce because they feel at that point the baby grows better outside of the womb/there's a reason the placenta isn't delivering nutrients as it should. Anyway my son was delivered 4lbs 11oz and he's fine. He came home in a car bed instead of traditional car seat but that's it. If the baby is really small they'll do a test on their oxygen while they sit in a normal car seat and my son just barely failed so they let me leave with him in a car bed which lays him flat instead of sitting up
